	"Rearming the Spineless Opuntia" robotic cactus sculpture - Amy Youngs The sculpture Rearming the Spineless Opuntia is a machine designed to protect a spineless cactus. The Spineless Opuntia is an actual, living cactus that has been altered by humans so that it lacks its spines. It is, therefore, easier to eat and to feed to cattle than its relative, commonly known as the Prickly Pear cactus. Because humans find it to be an economically valuable plant, we will cultivate it and protect it, however, I began to imagine what might happen if humans abandoned the Spinele...

	Some experimental observations on circulating currents in a crossed field plasma accelerator - Jedlicka, J. Experiments on a thermally ionized argon plasma suggest that applying a Lorentz force by means of orthogonal electric and magnetic fields to an electrically conducting fluid flow imposes necessary but not sufficient conditions for acceleration. There are, in fact, many combinations of current and magnetic field which cause decelerations of the fluid. The deceleration arises from a retarding force which may be larger than the applied Lorentz force...
